viiiSYSTEM OVERVIEWSystem overviewThe Automatic Identification System (AIS) was originally developed to aid the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) by use of a VHF transponder working on DIgital Selective Call (DSC) at VHF CH70, and is still in use along the UL coastal areas and others. Some time later the IMO developed a Universal AIS using the new sophisticated technology called Carrier-Sence Time Division Multiple Access (CSTDMA) based on a VHF Data Link (VDL).The system operates in three methods - autonomous (continuous operation in all ar-eas), assigned (data transmission interval remotely controlled by authority in traffic monitoring service) and polled (in response to interrorgation from a ship or authority). It is synchronized with GPS time to avoid conflict among multiple users (IMO minimum 2000 reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels 87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there are local AIS frequen-cies. Shipborne AIS transponders exchange various data as specified by the IMO and ITU on either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecom-mand received by the DSC on ship. AIS has Class A and Class B; Class A is the stan-dard for SOLAS ships, Class B is for non-SOLAS. There are two type of transmission method, SOTD MA (Self Organising Time Division Multiple Access) and CSTD MA (Carrier Sence Time Division Multiple Access). Class B is the inexpencive and simple AIS for easy mounting on boats.Not all ships carry AISVTS centerAids toNavigation(AtoN)TransponderVTS Center transmits TDMA CHmanagement message includingcode, type, position, etc. of buoysevery 3 min, and the AtoN broadcaststhese messages for ships.All ships broadcast Static and Dynamic information (autonomous andcontinuous mode). If OS wants to know information about ship 1, OS shallsend an interrogation in polling mode; then ship 1 will transmit herresponse on the same VHF channel without operator intervention.Interrogation and ResponseStatic and Dynamic information incl.MMSI, Name, POSN, HDG, COG, SOGShip 1Own shipThe VTS center transmits a command onfrequency assignment, slots, report rate,VHF output power, channel spacing, etc.(Assigned mode)AIS-fitted AtoN broadcasts itsidentification, type of operation,location, displacement, etc. at3 min intervals or at a reportingrate designated by theAdministration authorities.TransponderTrans-ponder
ixThe Officer of the Watch (OOW) should always be aware that other ships, and in par-ticular leisure craft, fishing boats and warships, and some coastal shore stations (in-cluding Vessel Traffic Service centers) might not be fitted with AIS.The OOW should also be aware that AIS fitted on other ships as a mandatory carriage requirement might be switched off by the master if its use might compromise the se-curity of the vessel. Thus, users are therefore cautioned to always bear in mind that information provided by AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of ship-ping traffic in their vicinity. Use of AIS in collision avoidanceAs an anti-collision aid the AIS has the following advantages over radar:• Information provided in near real-time• Capable of instant presentation of target course alterations• Not subject to target swap• Not subject to target loss in clutter• Not subject to target loss due to fast maneuvers• Able to detect ships within VHF/FM coverage, including in some circumstances, around bends and behind islands.When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational systems. The AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in its vicinity.The use of the AIS does not negate the responsibility of the OOW to comply with all collision regulation requirements, especially the maintaining of a proper look-out. The prudent navigator uses all aids available to navigate the ship.Erroneous informationErroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Poorly config-ured or improperly calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information being trans-mitted. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date.

21.2 AIS Transponder FA-50Mounting considerations, mountingThe FA-50 can be mounted on a desktop, deck or on a bulkhead. When selecting a mounting location, keep the following points in mind:• The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable.• Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents.• The mounting location should be well ventilated.• Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal.• Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field-generating equipment such as motors and generators.• A magnetic compass will be affected if the FA-50 is placed too close to it. Observe the compass safe distances noted in the safety instructions to prevent disturbance to the magnetic compass.• Fix the unit to the mounting location with 4x20 self-tapping screws (supplied).MORE THAN70"A" DETAILMORE THAN70All dimensionsin millimeters.MORE THAN 150
31.3 Whip AntennaLocationThe location of the AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Digital commu-nication is more sensitive than analog/voice communication to interference created by reflections in obstructions like masts and booms. It may be necessary to relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects. To minimize interfer-ence effects, the following guidelines apply:• The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as free as possible with a minimum of 0.5 meters in the horizontal direction from constructions made of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any large vertical obstruction. The objective for the AIS VHF antenna is to see the hori-zon freely through 360 degrees.• There should not be more than one antenna on the same plane. The AIS VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radio-telephone antenna, with no horizontal separation and with a minimum of 2.8 meters vertical separation. If it is located on the same plane as other antennas, the dis-tance apart should be at least 10 meters.• Install the VHF whip antenna (option) referring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual. Separate this antenna from other VHF radiotelephone antennas as shown below to prevent interference to the FA-50.Cabling• Use coaxial cable type 5D-2V or the equivalent.• The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal attenuation, and the maximum length is 50 meters.• All outdoor-installed connectors on coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation such as vulcanizing tape to protect against water penetration into the antenna cable.• Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90 degrees). The minimum bend radius of the coaxial cable should be 5 times the cable's outer diameter.Horizontal separation distanceMore than 10 mVertical separation distance Other VHFwhip antenna More than 0.5 mMore than2.8 m Whip antennafor AIS
41.4 GPS AntennaInstall the GPS antenna unit referring to the drawing on page D-5 or D-6 at the back of this manual. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points.• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block recep-tion or prolong acquisition time.• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.Extending antenna cableThree types of antenna cable extensions are optionally available.a) Antenna cable set CP20-02700 • Waterproofing connectorWrap connector with vulcanizing tape and then vinyl tape.

61.5 GPS/VHF Combined AntennaInstall the combined antenna unit referring to the outline drawing. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points.• Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal.• There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within line-of-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block recep-tion or prolong acquisition time.• Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satel-lite signal if the water freezes.Installation overview of GPS/VHF combined antennaMounting procedure1.
